Blah. OK, I'm 5-7 1/2. I will be thinking up a hard lie while I go swimming...

[bob]

1 I have seen every James Bond film, not counting 1967 Casino Royal, at least 5 times

2 I once inadvertently had an affair with  a married woman

3 I've been to Lambeau field in my younger days

I'm going with #2 because you strike me as smart enough to keep that from happening.

this actually happened

the woman I fell in love with at work and bought a promise ring for was fired for making out with one of the cooks in a  cooler at work

I found out after this happened she was married

Then let's go with 1. (And BTW I would not have said 2 was the lie, it had the feeling of being true to it.)

1.  I was once asked to resign as pastor of a church, because I was "too disconnected from the congregation."
2.  While in Israel last year, I saw a huge, bloated dead camel beside the road.  I think he'd been hit by a truck.
3.  One day last year I put on my boot without shaking it out first and got stung by a scorpion.

You should've saved number 3 for wintertime, 'cause your pants is on firrre!

Let's kick it up a notch and raise the odds. One of these is a lie, the rest are true. And for the record, I am just about out of interesting truths after this, so if my truths in future start being, like, "Um, I own two dogs" that'll be why.


1. When I was sixteen I said the eff-word in front of my mother for the first time, and I was saying it at her.

2. As a minor I used to sometimes steal library books, read them, and smuggle them back in a timely manner, because much of what I wanted to read fell under the "18 and up" restrictions our sub-fascist local government imposed on the library system.

3. Last week we were notified we had made $20,000.00 in purchases on our Kroger Plus Card, and were given some nice personalized coupons, and a dollar off gasoline at any Kroger Fuel Center.

4. I once saw someone tear another person's middle fingernail off with a pair of pliers. Unlike what they show on TV, it involved a rolling motion rather than a straightforward pluck.

5. At a charity fundraiser at a golf course during the 1989 ATP tournament, one of the players hit on my mother (who was in her twenties then and looked younger than she was). Three years later I was watching Wimbledon on TV and she said, "Hey, that's the one I told you about." And it was Andre Agassi, all dressed in white, playing for the championship.

I've seen them all at least 10 times

I've never been to Lambeau, I'd love to one of these days
